The New Jersey Nets had a very busy draft night. With the third selection in the draft, the Nets selected Georgia Tech forward, Derrick Favors. We profiled Favors here earlier this week. In addition to Favors, the Nets packaged their 27th and 31st pick to land the 24th pick, Texas forward, Damion James, who is the Big 12′s All-Time rebounding leader.

The stage was set tonight for the resurgence of the New Jersey Nets. The Nets had a 25% chance of landing the #1 overall draft pick, the best odds of any team in the lottery. The NBA announces the draft order from #14 (the worst) to #1 (the best). So when the final three teams were announced, the Sixers, Wizards, and Nets, I thought the Nets had it in the bag. The Wizards and Sixers had the 5th and 6th best odds, respectively, but landed picks #1 and #2. The Nets will draft 3rd. So where does this mean for the Nets?
